Court documents show that the Kerala government, whose case was treated as the 'lead case' among all the petitions filed against Adani, made four allegations to convince the court to cancel the contract for the Thiruvanathapuram airport.

Claims of a smoking gun turned out to be a damp squib, says Sai Manish.
